Help me fix my subhuman sleep schedule [reps]

Ok, so I have read all the tips when it comes to research:

1) No electronics pre-bed = Will try but will have to put up with a blue-light filter because I need to watch something before bed.

2) Have dinner a few hours before bed = Probably a dumbass mistake I made that heavily contributes - late dinner 30mins before bed. Had dinner today at 6:30 PM. Aiming to be asleep by 12 AM today.

3) Workout but not close to bed = did it today.

4) No Caffeine post 12 PM = did it today.

5) "Cool and dark" environment = will be ensured.


Melatonin is not available in the UK and I don't like the alternatives (make me drowsy the next day and let us just try do it naturally).


So the way I see it, I should hope/try to pass out by 12 AM today, try to get up at 5:30 AM tomorrow and then with the same tips try to hold a 9:30/10 PM bedtime and 5:30 AM rise time desired schedule.

If I feel energetic as **** at 12 AM, planning to just do work etc, crack a few Monsters and do chronotheraphy*

* Go to sleep as late as possible the next day, like 5 PM and then sleep until 2 AM, then push the to 8 PM the next day and then the third day to achieve the above-desired schedule.

1. Didn't read.

2. Stay up until you're supposed to go to sleep.

You already have a good idea of what you need to do.

I would add that if you are the type of person who lies in bed staying awake worrying about things, then you need to spend some time thinking about whatever makes you anxious before bed. If you stay busy all day and never pause to reflect then all your worrying will come out at night. That's been a problem for me often.

For me the only thing I can successfully control is the time I get up. You have to set an un-ignorable alarm for 6am or whatever the time is, then white-knuckle through a day or two.

You will be tired enough that getting to bed wont be an issue.

Diet - eating vegetables early on, then healthy fats/protein closer to bedtime. Have enough fiber. Make sure to have a healthy balance of electrolytes like magnesium, calcium, potassium. B vitamins, all vitamins really. Set your screen to have a blue light filter after 7pm if you're a computer zombie type. Don't drink alcohol, obviously don't drink caffeine or take any stimulant after 3pm.

Why not? Know a few who did a UK degree (check), did a PGCE (can do) and went abroad to teach in a private international school. Computing seems to be hot these days to teach. Can get a top tier Masters in Oxbridge quite easily as well.


Maybe I will become paralysed by analysis, life is full of options. I wish I was a dumb Eastern European who would just be happy in rural Bulgaria beating the wife and doing nothing all day.


The daughter is waiting for Covid-19 to end so she can travel to *****, I see.

I am working in a top Fortune 200 right now in Computing and I have a small micro start-up, can't scrutinise me about not DOING industry computing.
